What does

> 母 **と** 慕う彼女は

mean?

I posted the question on HiNative to no luck and Google Translate is
definitely way off. The use of the と particle has me a bit confused.

What does 母と慕う彼女は mean?


The と here means `as/like` in the sense of `A as B` when comparing `A` to `B`.
~~It's definition 3
in[デジタル大辞泉](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/154670/meaning/m0u/):

> ３ 比較の基準を表す。「君の―は比べものにならない」「昔―違う」 ~~

It's definition 4 in
[デジタル大辞泉](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/154670/meaning/m0u/):

> ４ 動作・状態などの結果を表す。「有罪―決定した」「復讐 (ふくしゅう) の鬼―化した」

But honestly, I think it feels like it's used similarly to として.

The clause says `"she who is respected as a mother"`
